		<description>My dad works in city government in another large city with an openly gay mayor...West Sacramento!! The redevelopment department there is where it&#039;s at. West Sacramento isn&#039;t the same city as Sacramento, it&#039;s BETTER, and you should move there and spend your dollars at their Ikea (because you are gay) and your sales tax will pay my dad.</description>

		<description>So happy for Houston. For those who don&#039;t know about her, read up on Barbara Jordan. Also from Houston, was an African-American, openly gay congresswoman in the 70s. And no one cared! So, weirdly, Texas has shown to be more progressive than many other states!</description>
